We just wrapped up our 2nd weekend of performances of our "Yuletide" Christmas production at church (www.churchatviera.com) I thought I'd share some pics taken from the last performance....

I play a hybrid V-drum/acoustic kit right now. V-drum snare/toms going into a Roland TD-20 module in combination with acoustic cymbals and kick drum. The kick is an older Ludwig maple kick (22" x 18" I think) with a Shure Beta 91 mic thrown in it. The cymbals are 13" K hi-hats, 16" K Custom Dark Crash, 17" A Custom Crash, 19" older Paiste crash/ride, and an old 8" splash. There are a couple of auxiliary pads going into the TD-20 also.

We're all using Aviom monitor mixers with headphones/in-ears right now. In 2009 I'm planning on going to a full acoustic kit and we'll have to figure out sound deflection and micing when we get there. At that point I'll probably spring for some custom molded IEM (LiveWires perhaps)

Anyway, enough yappin'....here are the pics:

Hoping to have audio from the sound board soon, but just pics for now.

It's a Christmas production for the church I go to. It's a Christian church. The picture with the people on stage holding the round balls (supposed to be ornaments, I'm guessing....wasn't ever quite sure) was during an instrumental piece.

The whole production was a theater-in-the-round style of program. The church calls the production "Yuletide". It's singing, dancing, and drama all written and performed by members of the church.
